论比较教育“学科”与“领域”之争的推动力

The Impetus for Controversy Between Discipline and Field in Comparative Education

比较教育概念中＂学科＂与＂领域＂定义属性是比较教育界长期争论的问题。通过对比较教育发展史的梳理,可以发现争论发展的外部推动力主要是隐藏在概念背后居于各个时期主导地位的教育思潮、教育思想和研究方法之间的争论,而内部推动力则是比较教育本体自身异质性、无边界性和跨学科性的更新和发展。比较教育＂学科＂＂领域＂概念的不统一,是由缺乏共同的上位概念和能够统整全局的理论基础而造成的。只有推动二者的双重发展,才能使争论成为推动比较教育发展的动力。我国当前比较教育的发展应跳出单纯的＂学科＂与＂领域＂的争论束缚,综合运用二者对教育问题和知识的整合作用,推动比较教育的发展进程。

The disunion of the conceptsof discipline and flied falls onthe lack of the common superior concepts and the theoretical basis. Only by promoting the two can weturnthe controversy intoimpetusforthe development of comparative education. In China,to develop comparative education,we need to get rid of the bondage of the debateand make a comprehensive use of their integration function ofeducational problems and knowledge.
